Hello all,
As the post says, I’m returning to the hobby after a very long time away, and I’m finding waaaaaay more options than ever, which is great. With that said, I’m a bit behind in what the best blasters are, the best brands, the best mods to prioritize, and so on. I checked out the list of recommended blasters, but some of the recommendations do seem outdated (many links no longer lead to products). There are obviously some decent off-the-shelf options, but there seem to be some really good boutique (for lack of a better term) options, as well as build-your-own.
So my question for the sub is what are your go-to primary blasters, sidearm blasters, and sniper blasters? What are considered pretty much required mods, and what other tips and tricks or advice do you have for someone who has been out of the game a very long time?
I’m interested in the hobby of the blasters (modding, building, and collecting), but also would like to join various game types in the future as well. My budget is pretty open. I’m financially established (meaning I’m old lol), I don’t have any preference between online or in-store purchasing, and my FPS goals are to be determined and will largely depend on game types I gravitate toward. My blasters will be for adults (and maybe my daughter when she gets old enough if she expresses an interest), and I think I’d typically lean more toward manual blasters, but I am interested in battery powered sidearms as well. I live in Florida, if that matters at all. Thanks for any and all suggestions.
